[chriskaza81]

Show us how you are trying it, because it could be a few things.

I'm guessing that maybe you are still using "As Long", instead of "As Int32".
Maybe you are not using an Alias that's different than the function name.

Here is an example of how to declare API's the old way, with VB.NET.

Private Declare Function apiGetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" Alias "GetForegroundWindow" () As Int32

Which API?
